After much research on head injury and safety here is what football is going to look like in the future:

HAHA..That does look like it would be fun to play..Knock the crap out of each other & bounce off tumbling a few tumbles..Wish we had this for PE during high school back in the day..We would have had a blast playing this game & would have looked forward to PE instead of dreading it cause we were forced to run everyday..Shame on them for trying to get us into shape....LOL

I wonder if you could still get a concussion doing that. The main problem with football helmets is that they were built to keep your skull from getting cracked, not to prevent concussions. Concussions are caused by rapid change of direction/rapid deceleration in a lot of cases, so I wonder if that could still happen in those...

But, it looks like a lot of fun!

Hmm, I wonder how much those bubble things cost...

Anyone think an indoor "Bumper Soccer" league - for kids and/or even adults - might take off?

Heck, I'd probably pay $10-$20 just for the fun of trying that out for an hour or so.

And it wouldn't have to be limited to soccer. You could have an obstacle-course style "Bumper Race", "Bumper Breakthrough" (think Red Rover, Red Rover), "Bumper Death-match Derby" (you get knocked down or fall over and you're out, last man standing wins) - the possibilities are endless!

Looks fun. But I wouldn't pay to watch it.
